If TodayPlus does die, what plug-ins will you run?

[jhollin1138]

If TodayPlus does indeed die, I will return to many of the Today plug-ins I was running before I switched completely to TodayPlus.  I thought it might be helpful for members to post what plug-ins they will be using if TodayPlus does die.

Tom Gigears' BatMemTime (freeware: battery, memory and storage card information plug-in)

PepeSoft's Calendar+ (freeware: improved calendar plug-in)

Kokot Grzegorz's TaskPlus (freeware: improved task plug-in)

Although nothing will replace the flexibility of TodayPlus, we still need to use our PPCs.  Hopefully TodayPlus doesn't die and this thread becomes useless. *crosses fingers*

Well, my config was :
- Uptime (freeware)
- Scarybear QuickAgenda (bought it, love it)
- Scarybear QuickTasks (bought it, love it)
- OmegaOne Battery Pack (bought it, not bad, bit slow sometimes)
- Journal Bar (bought it, had ocasional problems with sincronization)

I'm hopin' it doesn't come to that, but if it does, I recall I enjoyed that config and it suited my needs just fine, so I guess it wouldn't be that bad.

Anyway, NOTHING can replace the power and flexibility of TP.

Any freeware that could replace the Weather and the World Time?

[rebecker]

DeJe PIToday
tdLaunch 0.0.6 (FREE)
OmegaOne Journal Bar (Short term only. Not nearly as good as TodayPlus; looking for a replacement)

Hope srs updates TP (totally selfish on my part, I know)!

[fishboy]

Don't really want to think of running anything else  , but I would probably go back to my boring today screen consisting of:

- cLaunch (freeware tabbed launcher)

- tAgenda (freeware agenda/tasks display)
OR
- Calendar+ (freeware agenda display)
- TaskPlus (freeware tasks display

Probably dashboard, WA, and Journal Bar. Juni has some wicked skins for dashboard and WA. But I sincerely hope that it doesn't come to this.

I've gone back to this set up, in the following order.

TodayCAL by Robomagic (1 month calendar w/today's date)

WorldMate by mobimate (shows time and weather w/3 day forecast)

Calendar+ (I display next 2 upcoming appointments)

QuickTasks 2.5 by Scarybear Software (displays task list)

[Rockmin]

Probably back to:

My Calendar
Launcher

Will continue to use:

WisBar Adv
tAgenda

Still need a replacement weather section!

[Morpheus]

Well I'll go back to using:
tagenda v1.1 (Agenda/tasks)
claunch v12.03 (instead of tdlaunch - tabbed launcher)
batmemtime v3.3.7 (battery/storage/memory meters)

Things which I have started using with TP such as weather and RSS feeds will need to be replaced.

The only weather replacements I have found are
pktweather (free uses flash)
ADBWeather 2002  (shareware)

OR

OnlineWeather.com (via AvantGo)

For RRS:
PocketFeed

Hopefully this wont be necessary,

I'm just going to pout a lot and remove all the plugins from my Today screen, leaving an unsullied picture of my family, relying upon reminders for my tasks/appointments, PHM TrayLaunch on the bottom bar for a launcher and icbar (or possible WA) for bat/mem meter and other functions on the top bar (including a link to HandyMenu).

So, I'll miss out on the weather and RSS information, but I'll have managed to replace one Today plugin with... none!

This futile attempt at joviality brought to you by a gutted TodayPlus forum moderator  

[Yogiman]

I use the following progs:


- Snoopsoft Dashboard.
- Wisbar advance.
- Omegaone Journal Bar.
- Omegaone Program Bar.
- Omegaone Battery Bar.
- JGUI |MYCalendar.
- Rhinostats CPUmonitor.
- Uptime Meter.
- Stocksandweathertoday.


All this to replace 1 plug-in     And still i don't have all my functionality back  

[paqque]

Optional Today plug-in weather apps have already been mentioned, but another alternative is to subscribe (for free!) to infuzer.com.  Text-based weather forecasts for selected locations are received as app't items to Outlook which then get sync'd to your PDA agenda info.  If you have an agenda/calendar today screen plug-in you then get daily weather updates via schedule items.

Not pretty, but very functional, and a space saver.  I've used the same for World Cup soccer, er, football, schedules.

Cheers!

I've used a lot of different apps prior to TodayPlus, but all seem to have their limitations. Here are my thoughts:

Snoopsoft Dashboard - App is too big. Problems with ActiveSync.
Omegaone Journal Bar - Has NO Central American weather. Wonder why?
JGUI MoreTodays - Flakey screen refreshes.
Stocksandweathertoday - A real screen hog; unattractive look.
Worldmate SE - Too expensive. Foreign weather limited to capital cities.

I will probably switch to tdLaunch and PIToday (both excellent programs), but I really would like to find a weather program with the cities that TodayPlus has, plus the ability to limit the Today screen size until I want to check the weather.

Man, I'll REALLY miss TodayPlus
